Coding mission

The rabbit and the turtle are racing. The show-off rabbit looks around for the turtle twice and falls asleep. Then the hard-working turtle looks around twice at the sleeping rabbit.

Blocks and their jobs

  • DC Motor Block 1Rabbit head
  • DC Motor Block 2Turtle head

Let's think

You can code two DC motors separately so they move one after the other.

Learn about the Wait Block.

  • All blocks stop moving for the number you set. (1 = 1 second)
Show the solution

DC motor block 1 is the rabbit’s head and DC motor block 2 is the turtle’s head. First the rabbit turns its head both ways twice and stops for 5 seconds (sleeping), then the turtle turns its head both ways twice.
